C-H attempts to attack Killer's nat with some mutas and some scourge, but killer successfully chases him off, although he takes hits from rallied scourge
killer counters C-H's nat, killing a couple of drones mining gas
C-H manages to get 6 lings into killer's base, and they kill several drones before getting killed off
killer and C-H fight another battle over C-H's nat which killer wins fairly decisively, and despite being low on drones from C-H's lings that proves to be decisive as C-H ggs

Killer harasses with his muta through a few goliaths and turrets, then pulls back after losing a muta to finally take out the bunker preventing him from taking his nat.

Really losing all his goliaths to a swarm of muta. Mutas now wreaking havoc in Really's main, killing every freshly spawned goliath and avoiding the turrets.
going mech was a problem (because as a result, he couldn't push out and roll killer's natural at the best timing which bio would have allowed, and gave him less flexibility in getting his expo). however, even having had gone mech, he could have won the game with the push. But he chose to keep changing targets between sunkens and mutas (and even let killer pump out like an extra 4 mutas while he took a break for whatever reason) instead of taking out one or the other (probably sunkens first) quickly and thus lost the momentum there. After killer started taking his third, it was game
he won't be able to hold these lings 11:58:24 PM AND the muta 11:58:25 PM fuck 11:58:27 PM fuck 11:58:35 PM WAIT WHAT 11:58:38 PM KILLER HOLDS 11:58:38 PM LOL 11:58:42 PM LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL 11:58:44 PM THE FUCK?
Killer sacrifices what few muta he has to snipe some drones before getting cleaned up by Zero's air units. Killer sends down 2 scourge to camp Zero's freshly spawning muta and 2 lings to attack the drones.
Killer is just too good. Apart from that initial fuckup with sending his initial lings to Zero's base, he played amazing even though he lost. I think it's up to JD to clean this up. Zero's vP and vT are pretty good so he could all-kill if he gets past JD.

Killer should have stayed in that game, he still had his Spores. But maybe he felt that he didn't pressure the expansion enough or had additional information that we couldn't see at the moment.
So sad.
At least Zero is going to get stomped by either JD or Hiya next.

Yeah his 1 base 1 spore is gonna do a lot against 2 gas mutas

Princess.
Ah right, my bad. I completely forgot about Princess, we haven't seen him play in a while.

once the mutas were dead, zero could've just brought in zerglings to clean everything up

He was behind, but it felt not like that much during the last muta engagement, especially with that huge amount of scourge hits on Zero's mutas.
Too bad that the replay cut off before we got to that part though.
Edit: But you are probably right about the Zerglings.
Edit: Again, thanks for awesome music as usual Kiante!

It's because Zero abused the overlord scouting in the beginning.
Since Killer didn't see lings at X time, sending lings to base is a pretty appropiate response.

ZvZ games are so random and so luck based, sigh...

zero just suicides his mutas to kill most or all of Killers drones, and then runs in some lings. Even if Killer somehow cleans it up, he's 100% dead.
Hiya moving out with his bio up toward Zero's third morphing at the 10, forcing a cancel and chasing down the drone. The drone lives, but Zero has to bring his entire army to try to defend it. Meanwhile Hiya is moving another group out. Zero retreats to harass Hiya's base a bit, but Hiya pulls back and scares him off. Zero intercepts Hiya's first group of m&m with mutaling and annihilates them.
Just dropped in, why did some people wanted to send Jaedong out against ZerO? JvZ is somewhat weakened currently; the Tyrant is now susceptible to BO loss. Smarter to save him for the later, more stable matchups.
Hiya playing really damn well. Blocks early ling aggression, perfect timing on firebats for ling backstab, premuta timing forces cancel of 3rd. Mutas don't penetrate his base.
Hiya going for the nat break. He manages to take down everything before all lurkers finish morphing! Lurkers don't burrow for some reason and Zero ggs once his whole army is down.
Hiya just walks past the hidden stop lurkers Pushes the main when ZerO only has 2 sunkens and then ZerO runs the lurkers into the group and forgets to burrow lmao
Remember when someone said Flash and Jaedong should form their own team? This is the perfect time to do it now imo, so that they can get some play time at least.

Light (and Free for that matter) can't play until the new roster comes out. It's supposedly going to be released before the Stars v ACE match this Sat.
Edit: Light Girl will also be making an appearance this Sat at the Stars match.
On March 02 2011 14:28 salito wrote: Hiya probably would have won even if they had burrowed properly.
Yeah, with some decent micro, 3 control groups of MnM can easily deal with 3 lurkers + some mutas.
You can't micro "decently" in a choke, if zero had all his stuff in place and lurkers burrowed he would've held imho.
Zero had nothing at his nat. Just a couple of morphing lurkers that would have died immediately. He could've just pushed further into Zero's base when he's being flanked from behind.
Lol if this wasn't a 2 player map and the 3rd was easier to take I might think that this would be headed to hive tech. But I don't think either player are going to be eager to instigate :u
JD's attack is repulsed but he picks off some drones. Meanwhile, SK gets a couple lings into JD's main and scouts around until they are picked off by mutas
Things have been going downhill for Jaedong lately.
Looks like PerfectManOz will have to step up. Either him or Princess. Unless the Oz coach pulls off the SKT Coach's love of sending out completely random players at times.

Lomo is probably your best bet. Soulkey is statistically weakest against Terran and has lost to Lomo recently (of course it was just 1 game, but still...). It's not like OZ has any strong vs Z players left...

Just like last Winner's League. Ofcourse, it seems worse this time because atleast last time, he managed to win an MSL against Flash right before WL started.
On March 02 2011 15:24 Mortality wrote: Holy shit Soulkey was amazing that game.
He was so good that he moved Jaedong's lings into his base and suicided all of Jaedong's lings.
JD was too confident in his numbers advantage. But if you think JD just attack moved you are totally mistaken.
The scouting ling that went up ramp saw the amount of zerglings that were made so SK had time to make a sunk and add more zerglings to help fend it off. He also had 3 drones on hold position that did a ridiculous amount of damage. (If he didn't see zerglings then SK would have just died to lings as he would have been saving larva for mutas and not have made the sunk)
It wasn't him "being too confident in numbers adv."

I might be spouting BS, but Jaedong had to attack there to hit the timing before mutas, correct? And when he was scouted, he was pretty much screwed :/?
Lomo with poor marine control. Letting zerglings take pot shots and then retreating...stimming, running into sunkens for no reason. Just lost his entire control group.

What
Soulkey creaming terrans is nothing new. JD on the other hand...
They only played once before anyway. Score is even now I guess.
Statistically it is something new (low 40% ZvT), but then again if you look at his matchlist he has played almost nothing but really solid terran players.
Wow after ZerO lost I basically walked away from my computer ready to call it a night and watch the sharks game (we won that in a shootout too yay :D). But soulkey saved the day wow. That game against JD was awesome with baller lings.
Thanks to Kiante and T.O.P. , and you're a boss for playing Wagner after that game Kiante lol

Well I said that based on my numerous memories of games with soulkey absolutely raping terrans in the late game. So despite the statistics he definitely has a flair for it. Couldn't say the same about his vZ.
It look funny :D maybe because I always saw Light with uniform red and black, so it will took time to see him with Stars uniform. See his smile, I'm sure he will doing fine with Stars. Free and other teammates will take care him very well.
By the way, Congrats Stars :D and thank you Ryo because sharing it.

He seems to have lost some of his baller-ness with this uniform.
But he still has the bad habit of trying to crush shorter teammates' necks from behind. LOL

He has to be drafted first. There is some sort of play-off between 40 semi-pros for 18 spots on pro-teams? Not sure about the format. Anyway, MBC have 3 semi-pros competing. Check, Crise and n.Die_wOw.

In the first picture of light in Woongjin uniform that came out he looked like someone after a hangover, glad to see that he is coping better than I initially thought.
Was hoping to see some Guemchi action, but knew it wasn't gonna be him after they were down 1-3 :\ Soulkey won that game with that single ling scout getting up the ramp- if that was any later, that sunken wouldn't have gone up in time (it was barely on time as it is), less larva to spend on lings, etc - SK probably would have been snapped in half.
BTW, what is it about wanting to watch a game where the vote was all NO. I just had to see the fail with my own eyes.
